Stanislaus has not received the acknowledgement of the $35 sent to Hudson on Mr. Brosnan's account. James Fenner, in a letter, mentions the fact that he is reaching his 18th year and wishes a change of duty in the pressroom. A transfer should be carefully made or it may prove annoying to Brother Romanus. The weary drag in the press room is monotonous and is apt to create a morbid feeling, but it would hardly be worthwhile to make a change in the press room. Dennis' time in the press room has been prolonged and he should be relieved after the new press arrives. Mr. Arthur will be glad to have his brother in the printing office. Stanislaus will remain a week in Balboa to rest before going to New York. Father Paul started for New York yesterday to meet Father General on his arrival. Stanislaus is getting along well with the claim in Congress. Had not someone been in Washington to push the bill it would have probably failed. It still may fail but everything is in its favor. Senators McDonald, Bayard, and Voorhees will try to get it through. Part gift of a press possibly could be obtained if Stanislaus visited the New York manufacturers. The new Campbell Press thrown out of the Government Office here is too small for their work. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4 pp. 12 mo
